After making use of every Legitimate
means to regulate" the jury in the
Sharp case, the friends of the Doodle
King have finally resorted to bribery and
bulldozing. When reduced to such de-
vices for defeating justice it appears as
though there WAS certainly very urgent
need of something more than the truth
and the whole truth, to establish the inno-
cence of the accused party. No suspicion
is expressed that the emnently respect
able counsel engaged in the case are
cognizsnt of such attempts to warp the
minds of the jury. The charge is con.
fined to Sharp's friends who are officious-
ly striving to aid him in this dubious
fashion. That such methods will prove
successful is not to be considered and the
fact that they are being used is not calcu-
lated to benefit the case of the defendent.
1t is to be hoped that those engaged in
this jury-fxing will be detected and dealt
with to the full extent of the law.

The Irish EvictiOns,

A question that is now frequently asked
is. how long will the Irish peasantry en-
dure the unjust measures which the Eng.
fish government uses against them. When
the condition of the tenants is rightly
understood, it seems as though they have
experienced degree of hardship already
that would have compelled them to resort
to that resistance which cannot be better
termed than by the name OF rebellion.
But such is the position into which they
have fallen by the oppression of the land
owners that there is no thought among
them of any united insurrectlonary
action. By the terms OF the
tenant lease they are left but barely
enough to keep soul and body together
and but energy enough to maintain their
present pitiable condition. They cannot
resist evictions by concentrated force even
il they would. for they are
held in subsection by the representatives
OF landlords and of the government. al
most - though they were slaves. To be

sure they are not in bondage but their lot
il but little preferable to such state.
From the statistics furnished by the en-
igration bureau, il is ascertained that sew
enty-f per cent of the population have
during the last twenty years left the coun-
try. And since England persists in her
unjust course toward this down trodden
people.it would seem that the only escape
from their suferings is to seek homes in
other countries. 1t has been announced
that sixty five thousand tickets fer Ameri-
ca alone have been purchased since the
beginning of this year. Such being the
case, it is evident that the tenantry recog-
nize their only salvation from the wrongs
to which they are subjected.
In resisting the evictions. one cannot but
admire the spirit which is manifest
ed. To be driven from home, means
more than the want of shelter and liveli-
hood. 1t means Punishment from coun-
try which any man in whom soul is not
completely dead, will oppose just so far
as he is able. The sympathy of the
citizens OF this country is not misplaced
when it is extended to this people. The
experiences of the past enable US to ap-
preciate their unfortunate situation more
deeply than we otherwise could. There
cannot but be in the future, some change
in their condition, either through differ
ent policy OF the government or by the
Intervention OF sympathizing friends,
which will alleviate their sufferings.

No fair minded and sober thinking man
will believe, and many will resent, the
insinuations of corruption that have been
made regarding the administration of the
affairs of the Heights Of Labor by Master
Workman Powderly. The opposition to
him is confined to the malcontents and evil
disposed and is evidently increasing
But should these elements succeed in re-
moving Mr.. Powderly, he would receive

Messrs. L S. johnson & Co.-Gentlemen,

Some fifteen years ago it got so bad that

creased, and for the last six or eight years l
have been stone deaf in my right ear, and
very hard of hearing in my left ear. have
taken doses of physic powders, and pills,
from various physicians, and applied blisters
with only temporary relief. But of late l
am getting permanent beneft-for l have
been taking Johnson's Anodvne Liniment for

after / commenced taking it and applying it
to the ear according to the directions, there
appeared to be large round substance in 10y

and, about forty DAYS since it was all dis
solved and gone, and can hear as we'll as

OF my recovering my hearing; and it has
done more for me than anything else. I will
take oath to the truth of these statements any
time. DR.. Stevens of this place advised me
TO write and tell you what the liniment had
done for me; and concluded to write, for
it might do somebody some good. Yours

DAKIN EXPELLED.

Dakin, who not long since attempted to
bride brother members of the Michigan
legislature, a expelled from that body
three or four days ago by a unanimous
vote. 1t appears that the corporate
authorities of the city Of Saginaw OF that
State wanted some change made in their
city charter. He represented to them that
the needful legislature could not be pro-
cured unless he had money to pay certain
members whom ne named and whose price
he stated. He handled the money and
so very bunglingly that charges OF bribery
above noted.
These facts as briefly stated above leads
the Chicago Herald to the opinion that it
is undoubtedly true that money is otter
corruptly used to influence legislation, but,
while funds 60 to the lobby, a great many
other consid ,rations are employed to affect
the votes of the members who would scorn
to accept a bride but are so weak as to
yield in the performance of what they
know to be a duty because of considera-
tions which are none the less improper be-
cause they exclude q vulgar purchase.
Lobbyists use money only upon money
takers. With the rest their efforts take
some other direction. They reach and
interest them through church, or social or
political influences. II they are vain, fat
terry is abundant; if gluttonous, they are
piled with cakes and ale. The cheaper he
gets his man the better the lobbyist is
pleased. Inscriptions himself, the lobby
list is not above reporting to his principal
that the man whom he has gaind by other
devices has sold himself for money. The
legislator who would guard his reputation
carefully must be guided by the familiar
adage-hew to the line, let the chips fall
where they may.

Times in the matter of the alleged Parnell
letter. In an address to a London meeting
a few evenings g he declared that the
lines published the Parnell letter, know.
ing it to be a forgery. in order to create a
sensation and thus improve it's circulation,
which has been rapidly falling of. He also
charged that the Times management
bought the forged letter from a worthless
scamp, knowing him to be such, and know
ing also hat he could have had no connec-
ton with the Irish societies or with Mr..
Parnell. At the conclusion of these charges
Mr.. Labouchere invited the proprietors Of
the Times to sue him for libel. The invita-
ton will not be accepted. To do so would
force the Times to explain how it obtained
the now notorious letter, and from whom.

In his recent speech in the debate on the
budget, Mr.. Gladstone stated that during
the past year the people of Great Britain
had added one hundred million pounds
sterling to their savings. This wonderful
increase comes at a time of great agita-
ton to a nation OF 10000, 900 people liv-
ing under a free trade system. The most
obstinate protectionist must concede that
this fact opens q vista for serious reflection
on the question how far, with our indus
trious and enterprising population, which
will soon be double that Of the United
Kingdom, we can safely go in the direction
of free trade.
